Rune Documentation

This wiki explains Rune — a sovereign, LLM-authored adaptive runtime — in plain language. Code is evidence; this wiki is the map.

Start here

Architecture — components, canonical authorities, state flow
Build Pipeline — the issue→plan→TDD→dual-gate→CI→merge loop
Operations — runner, protected branch, labels, templates, maintenance
Growth Roadmap — milestones toward governed autonomy
Backup and Restore — where backups live and how to recover

Current release: v0.50.0

Recent capability: ContextBroker (single context authority), native iterative tool loop, observable failure tiers (/health), durable inference traces, structural contract, canonical task/conversation state.

Decision rights

Rune (controller) may research, build, test, document, and submit via gated PRs. CI verifies deterministically. Two independent LLM review gates audit every change. Nick remains the final authority over goals and disputed merges.

Wiki maintenance

This wiki updates with every substantial submission (part of the pipeline contract). Pages: Architecture, Build Pipeline, Growth Roadmap, Operations, Backup and Restore.
